Patchway Town Council - Accessibility

This website has been designed to be fully accessible for all users.

A selection of colour schemes have been provided to make the website
experience more visually appealing. A reverse colour scheme (white on
black) is also available for users who prefer a higher level of contrast
between the text and the background.

You can select three different text sizes by using the icons at the
top left of every page. This requires javascript to be enabled on the
user's computer.

There are some other ways that users can change the size of this website
but these depend on the Internet browser being used.

To adjust the text size on the current web page:

Internet Explorer 7 and 8

IE 7 was the first version of Internet Explorer to have a size-change
facility permanently on view: the button in the bottom-right corner. This
can be used to zoom the whole page (text and images).

Alternatively :

1. Select menu item Page / Zoom

2. Click on the desired size.

You can also adjust the zoom quickly by holding the Ctrl key down and
moving the mouse wheel.

You can control fonts in more detail on the ‘Advanced’ tab.

In Opera 7 this is to be found under menu item File / Preferences, then
“Fonts and Colors”, then “Normal”.

In Opera you can also rapidly zoom in and out on a page, if you have
a mouse with a wheel: hold the Ctrl key depressed, and move the mouse
wheel up or down. Or use the ‘+’ and ‘-’ keys
on the numeric keypad, and ‘6’ to return to 100%.

In Opera you can also set a minimum text size, so if a site uses some
reasonable-sized text and some tiny text, you can force the tiny text
to be readable. This is set in the ‘Advanced’ panel, as above.

Firefox

Firefox offers various ways of setting text size:

* zoom in and out by holding the Ctrl key down and moving the mouse
wheel;
* zoom the text size in and out by using Ctrl & ‘+’ and
Ctrl & ‘-’.
* set the font in menu Tools / Options.

Safari

In Safari you can zoom the text size in and out with Command + and Command
-
The Command key on a Macintosh is indicated by an Apple or cloverleaf
symbol. Or you can use menu View / Make Text Bigger.
